The Application_Start event is fired once when the application domain is loaded. If you see it firing more than once then this would mean that the application restarts. There are multiple reasons an application domain could get unloaded like deleting modifying some of the files like web.config, the bin folder, ... Here's an article describing common reasons for application restart.

5For me, it was writing files to the bin folder. – d512 Aug 31 '16 at 04:13
